It was 'Mississippi Sea Wolves Tribute Night' and the Shuckers won hockey jerseys that looked similar to the Sea Wolves jerseys.

On May 30, 1999 the Sea Wolves won the ECHL Kelly Cup Championship before 9,200 fans inside the Mississippi Coast Coliseum. Kevin Hilton scored the winning goal to propel the Sea Wolves past the Richmond Renegades 4 to 3. It was one of the highlights in my broadcasting career that spans 44-years.

Having won 25 of their last 27 games, it's not a stretch to consider the Poplarville Hornets one of the winningest teams in our area. However, it's those two losses, both late in the playoffs, that the Hornets look to improve upon in 2018.
